Hello my darlings and welcome.
Today, I’m going to create a page in my book of shadows. A chart of
13 witches’ runes. Let’s learn the meanings of each rune as we go.
Let’s do some magical crafting.
If you’d like to download a PDF of this Grimoire Page,

My Patrons can download recipes, book of shadows pages, artwork and more. All provided as PDF’s.
And I will continue to add new, downloadable content as I do more projects on the channel.
When I design a page in my Book of Shadows, I start with a pencil sketch.
Then I go over it with waterproof ink, and erase my pencil lines. And finally,
I go back in with watercolor paint to add color and backgrounds.
In this case I divided my page into 13 sections - one for each rune,
reserving the extra space at the top for the title and a short paragraph of instructions.
As I color and illustrate this grimoire page,
let’s learn the rune meanings together. I will leave links below to the sites where you can
find the meanings of Witches’ Runes. Those are the source of the information in this video.
Each rune has a positive or negative connotation. If you are casting for a yes or no question,
you can get a sense of the answer. A positive rune is a yes answer. A
negative rune is a no. These answers can be affected by the positions of other runes near
them in a reading. It is important to use your intuition when interpreting a throw.
A positive Rune, The Sun represents new beginnings, or an improvement in a situation.

beginning of something new. Making good decisions. Having good health and vitality. Healing.
